BR-06 and BR-07: seller name and buyer name
One requirement stated twice, once for each party. The catalogue makes the Seller name (BT-27) and the Buyer name (BT-44) unconditionally mandatory, and a validator reports whichever of the two is absent. Both are plain text fields on the party block, so the fix is the same in either case.
